| Obverse description | Right-facing crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II after the Ian Rank-Broadley portrait, wearing the George IV State Diadem and a pearl drop earring. The bust is truncated at the shoulder and set within a raised central field, surrounded by a wide outer border with a beaded inner rim. The legend ELIZABETH II flanks the upper left, NIUE appears at the top, TWO DOLLARS arcs along the right, and the date 2009 is positioned at the bottom, all in raised capital letters against a darkened background. |

| Reverse description | Two color-printed black swans facing each other on a stylized water surface, their necks arched inward to form a heart-shaped composition, their orange-red bills nearly touching at center; the birds' plumage is rendered in multicolor enamel with dark black and brown tones and ruffled wing feathers. A decorative scroll banner at the top of the field bears the inscription 1 OZ.999 SILVER, flanked by ornamental flourishes. At the bottom, within a further decorative scroll cartouche, the motto LOVE IS PRECIOUS appears in raised capital letters. The entire design is framed by a beaded inner border. |
